Wouldn''t you at a guaranteed £150 a go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheCardinal 0 Posted May 30, 2008 Very surprised that he''s signed for them. Forest is not what I''d call a big club any more, the facilities are well known to be dated and tired and Nottingham is a bit of a hole (sorry to those who live there, but it is!).The only reason I can see that he''d sign for them is that it''s commutable from Derby and they''re paying him well.

Desi Rascall 0 Posted May 30, 2008 its a good move for earnshaw and his agent, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCardinal 0 Posted May 30, 2008 Of course, and I wasn''t saying that it was a bad thing - just that it must be the predominant reason Earnshaw chose to move to Forest. I mean, faced with the choice of Sheffield Utd or Forest on the same money, I suspect most would choose Sheffield Utd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LORD FOXY LOWE 0 Posted May 30, 2008 ok so he''s got a good record at this level but I can''t stand the little guy. He''s everything that is bad about the modern day footballer, where he parks his hummer is his home, no loyalty to any club. He''ll play a season at forest, if he scores 20 plus goals he''ll be off somewhere else in the summer. You can''t build a side with players like earnshaw, I''d much rather sign Ched Evans for 2 million!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Chirp 0 Posted May 30, 2008 ah well... he''s a good player and will doubt score against us but i am hopeful we''ll sign a decent striker from somewhere... however i doubt it will be Ched... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psychedeliasmith 0 Posted May 30, 2008 It''s a good move for him. You''ve got to say that with their heritage that Forest are a bigger club than us. They''ve got a bigger stadium, get good crowds and they''ve won the League and the European Cup twice. I''d say that Forest as a name are a bigger draw than Norwich who, aside from a Milk Cup win in 1985 have never won anything. Silverware is more important than a nice training ground.Plus Nottingham is good - good pubs and one of the best record shops ever in Selectadisc! More importantly for Earnshaw, it''s not far from Derby. He probably lives in the area now and doesn''t want to move.I like Earnshaw - he was a very good striker for us and he moved onto a Prem club like most players would. That''s the problem - if we have a good striker who scores loads of goals for us it is likely that they''ll move on. Unless they''re old like Iwan Roberts. It''s always been the way. Ashton, Fleck, Bellamy, Sutton, even Ashley flippin Ward! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
